Despite the smaller size of its component companies, the Russell 2000 itself is not insignificant. The IWM, the ETF of the Russell 2000, is the seventh most actively traded equity based on options trading notional value, not far behind the QQQ, the exchange-traded fund (ETF) of the Nasdaq 100. This indicates superior liquidity for traders.

The article from TastyLive discusses trading opportunities within the Russell 2000 Index, which represents 2000 small-cap companies in the U.S. It highlights how the Russell 2000 can offer significant trading opportunities due to its volatility and the potential for high growth from smaller companies. The piece explains that while the Russell 2000 might not get as much attention as larger indices like the S&P 500, it can be particularly appealing for traders looking for undervalued stocks or sectors not well-represented in larger indices. The article also touches on strategies like using options for leverage, the importance of understanding sector exposure within the index, and how economic cycles can affect small-cap performance. It emphasizes the need for traders to be aware of liquidity issues and the potential for higher transaction costs when trading these smaller stocks.
